    Would this be overkill for a Nintendo Switch?

  • belongsinforums on 13/04/2023 - 15:29

    dont bother with officeworks price beat unless it lists the same serial number

  • Mudflap on 13/04/2023 - 15:49

    any good for 4k dashcam?

    • jjj123 on 13/04/2023 - 16:06

      BlackVue recommend Samsung Pro Endurance on their website. This is the newer version with 256GB capacity.

    No, you'd be a fool to spend twice as much for the 'endurance' badge, endurance or not they are unlikely to be corrupted being in dashcam or whatever cam it might be. In a raspberry pi maybe it matters but no one needs that much storage for a pi.

      Why spend hundreds of dollars on a dashcam to help you with insurance claims only to cheap out on the storage to save ~$30. If you want to save money, go for a smaller capacity, but I wouldn't recommend putting a standard SD card in a dashcam when high endurance options are available and designed for them.

        I never had issues with standard SD cards, and I've been using them for years.

          100% success rate with a sample size of 1. With those statistics I can see why you would downvote someone expressing common sense.

          • nuker on 13/04/2023 - 18:52

            @Karmond: Make sample size 2. My take on it is that fast, good quality cards like this are fine for dashcams. Its the slow ones that die.

            • Karmond on 13/04/2023 - 19:57

              @nuker: Have you actually taken the card out and performed a scan on it? Especially if you've used one for years.

              Cheap SD cards are TLC or QLC, which should have an estimated lifespan of about 700-1500 cycles for TLC, and under 1000 for QLC.

              A decent modern dual camera dashcam will do something like 25Mbps bitrate for the front, 10Mbps bitrate for the rear. Recording while parked might have lower bitrates depending on your settings and dashcam. With those bitrates you'll write 15.75GB per hour, filling up a 256GB MicroSDXC in under 17 hours of driving. Now if you have saved events that the dashcam won't overwrite, you'll end up chewing through those cycles even faster as you're effectively lowing the available space for the card to overwrite. Lets say you have 25.6GB (10%) of events after some time, you'll now be overwriting the available storage in under 15 hours, and it'll only get lower and lower as more events are made unless you start clearing the events out regularly.

              So yes, there's a lot of variables at play; how many cameras are recording, what is the bitrate, how high is the bitrate while parked, how much space is used up by events on the card, then of course luck of the draw as to how long your particular card will last. Samsung are saying in their marketing that their Pro Endurance card will survive for 16 years of recording (at 26Mbps), I think a cheap TLC card would be lucky to make it to 2 or 3 without issues, and some of those issues might be completely hidden until you go and check your card.

              If the manufacturer themselves states that they will not honour the warranty of a non-endurance card when used in a dashcam, you kind of have to ask yourself why would you still want to use it in one.

            @Karmond: I never has issue with them too, sample size x 10 because non I ever had was the endurance bullshit.

        • SmoothCactus on 13/04/2023 - 20:34

          I hate this logic.

          Your anecdotal experience is great but offers nothing of value and goes against statistics and why these exist in the first place. Anybody with an understanding of best/safe data storage would not use a regular sd card with a dash cam, or a regular hard drive with a nas, or a low endurance ssd in a cache drive.

          You can use regular cards and be fine, but you can’t say that you are protected from situations where your data might be lost.

          Im also willing to bet YOU have no idea if you actually have been fine or not.

          If you haven’t manually tested and checked your data, you will have no idea if you’ve had corruption or loss because there’s no mechanism that will report it. Until you’ve lost your data, or checked it, you simply won’t know.

          • tukanglistrik on 13/04/2023 - 21:54

            @SmoothCactus: I do know how to check my SD cards and I do have experience with corrupted SD cards in other situations.

            That's fine if you feel more secure with the endurance cards, different people have different needs/preference. I just stated my experience with using various standard microSD cards (yes, various, so sample size is not 1). And I use WD CMR drives for my NAS.

          • nuker on 14/04/2023 - 00:16

            @SmoothCactus:

            regular hard drive with a nas

            WD Elements 12TB, pretty regular ones, right?

        Lol, you're very naive to think that a dashcam can save you making a claim, in most situation it's easy enough to work out who's in the wrong if you or anyone is there when it happens. The only time it does is when someone doing a runner and it comes down to whether you have a dashcam that do parking mode and lighting condition is in you favour.
        A failed card is almost never a problem, just like winning a million dollar because when a card fail your dashcam should be able to tell you, if it doesn't then you need a better dashcam.

    • SmoothCactus on 13/04/2023 - 20:36

      So you want to use high endurance drive in a situation (raspberry pi) that writes LESS. But advocate against using it in a situation that is constantly writing and has high (higher than a pi) writes. A situation it’s actually designed for?

      You have no idea what you’re talking about if you’re calling people foolish with this logic.

      • lgacb08 on 13/04/2023 - 21:40

        mate, you got no idea about the write load an sd card has to go through in a pi in many applications, the amount of write sequence any video cam has to go through (including dashcam) is just a walk in the park compared to some applications the pi does.
        I only ever had card failures in a pi, not everywhere else and it is not a single incident, sometimes an initial load of the OS is enough to kill the card. I also have a dashcam that corrupt the last recording file everytime power is cut but if I can always recover that footage if I want to, and that hasn't failed any of my card.

        Endurance is just a bullshit marketing terminology invented by sandisk to justify their refusal to cut price and Samsung actually copied that.

  • ChatCPT on 14/04/2023 - 09:53

    just bought for my viofo A129 plus duo

    Had a regular samsung 256gb in there but kept restarting recording randomly

    hopefully this endurance will fix it. another ozb said this is recommended for dashcams
